The 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh is over, but some roads remain closed as crews tear down the infrastructure set up during the three-day event.

By May 11, things should be back to normal.

There are three phases of road closures left in the initial six-phase plan that was announced ahead of the draft by transportation leaders and city officials.

Phase 4 began Sunday and will last through Friday. The following roads are still closed during that time:

  • Casino Drive (from Sproat Way)
  • North Shore Drive (to Chuck Noll Way)
  • Reedsdale Street (to Tony Dorsett Drive)
  • Chuck Noll Way
  • Tony Dorsett Drive
  • Interstate 279 Southbound Exit 1B

These roads are in addition to the Phase 1 closures, which include:

  • Art Rooney Avenue
  • West General Robinson Street (to Tony Dorsett Drive)
  • Scotland Avenue

Following Phase 4, the last two phases will be as follows:

  • Phase 5 closures (May 2-6): Reedsdale Street, Chuck Noll Way, Tony Dorsett Drive, along with the closures in Phase 1 (Art Rooney Avenue, West General Robinson Street to Tony Dorsett Drive and Scotland Avenue)
  • Phase 6 closures (May 7-10): Art Rooney Avenue, West General Robinson Street (to Tony Dorsett Drive), Scotland Avenue
